help describe

Usage: describe <object> [as] <text>

This command allows the owner of an object to set its description (known
internally as its `look' property).  The keyword `as' is an optional
convenience for MOO addicts, as is the ubiquitous optional `@'.  If you want to
describe something with text that starts with `as', you are being difficult,
but can do so by typing `as' twice.  You can embed a line break in your
description by typing \n, and a backslash by entering \\.  You are encouraged
to enter enough \n's to keep lines shorter than 80 characters, but not so many
as to spam your fellow players.  The things you most often want to describe are
`me' (yourself) and `here' (the room where you are, e.g. your apartment).  See
`help object' to find out how to refer to other objects.
